Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gawthwaite?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
