About our bath re-enamelling in Little Houghton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Little Houghton
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Little Houghton?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What we’re called out for in Little Houghton
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Little Houghton questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Little Houghton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
