About our bath re-enamelling in Orton
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Orton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Orton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
