About our bath re-enamelling in East Cliff
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Cliff?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Common questions in East Cliff
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in East Cliff
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:

- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
