Bath re-enamelling for St George's Fields homes

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we handle bath re-enamelling in St George's Fields

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in St George's Fields

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St George's Fields

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
