How we handle bath re-enamelling in Piershill
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
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 usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Advice
When to call us in Piershill
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
