If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Poolbrook
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Poolbrook: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Poolbrook
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Poolbrook, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
