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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Earcroft
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Earcroft
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When to call us in Earcroft
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
