About our bath re-enamelling in Patricroft
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Patricroft questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Patricroft?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
When to call us in Patricroft
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Patricroft
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
