Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Illston on the Hill
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Illston on the Hill?

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
