Bath re-enamelling in Knave-in-hole, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Common problems we fix in Knave-in-hole
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
