How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rockcliffe
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rockcliffe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Rockcliffe
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rockcliffe. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
