- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.

Bath re-enamelling in Defford, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Defford and across Worcestershire.

Common questions in Defford
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Worcestershire?
All of Worcestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Defford.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlord and trade work in Defford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Worcestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
