About our bath re-enamelling in Tye Green
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Questions from Tye Green
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Tye Green?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
