How we handle bath re-enamelling in Millbrook
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Millbrook
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Millbrook questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.

- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job
