How we handle bath re-enamelling in Eglwys-Brewis
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Eglwys-Brewis
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Eglwys-Brewis: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What else we do in Eglwys-Brewis
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Eglwys-Brewis
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
