Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Venterdon without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

What else we do in Venterdon
When to call us in Venterdon
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement.
