Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Rodmell questions
Do you come to Rodmell?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rodmell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
