Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Haughton-le-Skerne

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Haughton-le-Skerne: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Haughton-le-Skerne?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Haughton-le-Skerne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
