Bath re-enamelling in Foots Cray, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
