How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stepney
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 work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stepney and across Hull.

Materials we work on in Stepney
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stepney
Do you come to Stepney?
We do. We send a technician to Stepney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Stepney and the rest of Hull. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
