About our bath re-enamelling in Larches
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places

How it works

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Common questions in Larches
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you cover Larches?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Larches. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
