Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Common questions in Rockcliffe
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Rockcliffe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rockcliffe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Rockcliffe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
