About our bath re-enamelling in Selsfield Common
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Selsfield Common: your questions answered
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

What else we do in Selsfield Common
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Selsfield Common. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
