Bath re-enamelling in Washfold without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in Washfold
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white

FAQs for Washfold
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
