Bath re-enamelling in Washbrook, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Washbrook questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
