About our bath re-enamelling in Holywell
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should you replace it?
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. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Holywell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Holywell
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.

Common questions in Holywell
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
