How we handle bath re-enamelling in Poolsbrook
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Poolsbrook

Common problems we fix in Poolsbrook
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Poolsbrook
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?

Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Poolsbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
