About our bath re-enamelling in Frog End
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Frog End: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Frog End?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Frog End. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Frog End
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
