Bath re-enamelling in Eggbuckland without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you have a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Homes around Eggbuckland range from cottages to newer houses. Some still have cast iron or steel baths, which are worth keeping.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in Eggbuckland
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Edward King of the West Saxons, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
