Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
About our bath re-enamelling in Old Arley
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Old Arley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Arley
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
