Bath re-enamelling in Palterton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Palterton questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Palterton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Palterton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Common problems we fix in Palterton
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
