About our bath re-enamelling in East Hoathly
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
