Bath re-enamelling at your home in Downham
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
