How we handle bath re-enamelling in Strete
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Strete?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strete as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Strete, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
