How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tillington
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Tillington
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What we’re called out for in Tillington
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
