About our bath re-enamelling in Out Elmstead
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Out Elmstead and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairing versus replacing in Out Elmstead
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
