How we handle bath re-enamelling in Furneux Pelham
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’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Furneux Pelham as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What else we do in Furneux Pelham
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
