Bath re-enamelling in Frogmore without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Frogmore questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Frogmore?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
