Bath re-enamelling in Littlestead Green without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Littlestead Green
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Littlestead Green
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
