Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rodden
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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’s the part we put right.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Rodden
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Rodden contact us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
