Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Freshwater
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Freshwater
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Freshwater
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Questions from Freshwater
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work in Freshwater?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Freshwater. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

- Several chips and rust patches

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
