What we are called out for in Direcleit
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

About our bath re-enamelling in Direcleit
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Direcleit as everywhere else we work.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
