Bath re-enamelling in Setley without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Setley
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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, with the outside refinished as well.
Setley: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are there extra charges for Setley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
