About our bath re-enamelling in Ifold
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Ifold
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ifold
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What else we do in Ifold
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. 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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
