About our bath re-enamelling in Little Catwick
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
When to call us in Little Catwick
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Little Catwick
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Landlord and trade work in Little Catwick
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
