How we handle bath re-enamelling in Three Mile Cross
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Three Mile Cross
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
