Bath Re-enamelling for Larling homes
Problem with your bath in Larling? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Larling
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 will not last.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Larling
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Larling?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Larling. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
