About our bath re-enamelling in Toot Hill
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Toot Hill and across Essex.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Toot Hill
Are there extra charges for Toot Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Toot Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Toot Hill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
