How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Cave
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Cave?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places

- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
