- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Helland
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Helland
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How long is the bath unusable?

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
