Bath re-enamelling in Thorpe in the Glebe without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Thorpe in the Glebe
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
