Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hollow Street
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Materials we work on in Hollow Street
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
