How we handle bath re-enamelling in Purley on Thames
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
