Bath re-enamelling in Cricklade without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cricklade
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairing versus replacing in Cricklade
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cricklade. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
