When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we’re called out for in Lewdown
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Questions from Lewdown
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are there extra charges for Lewdown?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Lewdown is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Repair or replace in Lewdown?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
