Bath re-enamelling at your home in Milton
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Milton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Milton’s nearest station is Willington station, about 2.1 miles north-west. Well-known places in the area include Bretby Castle (2.6 miles south-west) and Pastures Hospital (4.5 miles north).
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Milton
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
