About our bath re-enamelling in Sandiacre
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Sandiacre questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Sandiacre?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandiacre
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sandiacre?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
