The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

About our bath re-enamelling in Highclere
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Highclere
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
