Bath re-enamelling at your home in Roby Mill
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Roby Mill
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Roby Mill included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When to call us in Roby Mill
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
