Bath re-enamelling in Grafty Green without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grafty Green?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
