Bath re-enamelling in Old Brampton without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Old Brampton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
