How we handle bath re-enamelling in Draughton
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Draughton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Draughton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Draughton
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What else we do in Draughton
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
