- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Spring Cottage
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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Spring Cottage and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we are called out for in Spring Cottage
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Spring Cottage
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Spring Cottage included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
