DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Spike Island
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- One price list for the whole UK

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
If you manage property in Spike Island, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Spike Island
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Spike Island?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
