Bath re-enamelling at your home in Merlin's Bridge
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- 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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Merlin's Bridge: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Merlin's Bridge?
We do. We send a technician to Merlin's Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
