Bath re-enamelling in Holmesfield without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Holmesfield questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Holmesfield
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
