Bath re-enamelling in Staithgate, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Staithgate

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
