Bath re-enamelling at your home in Settlingstones
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we are called out for in Settlingstones
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We don’t 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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Settlingstones
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
