DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath re-enamelling in Oldfurnace, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Oldfurnace
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for Oldfurnace
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Oldfurnace?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
