Bath Re-enamelling for Purse Caundle homes
Bath re-enamelling across Purse Caundle and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Purse Caundle
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Purse Caundle and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
