DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
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 pay close attention there.

Questions from Purleigh
How long is the bath unusable?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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 get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
