How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shortheath
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shortheath?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
