- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Higher Ansty?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Higher Ansty
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you cover Higher Ansty?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Higher Ansty. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
