How we handle bath re-enamelling in Uffington
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Uffington and across Shropshire.

- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Uffington
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
