How we handle bath re-enamelling in Underhill
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Underhill?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Underhill: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
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 it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you work in Underhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Underhill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
