Bath re-enamelling at your home in Somerby
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Somerby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, 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. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we’re called out for in Somerby
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Somerby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
