How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Lever
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Great Lever
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are there extra charges for Great Lever?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What we are called out for in Great Lever
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Lever
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
