About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Dunsforth
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
