Bath re-enamelling in West Pelton, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in West Pelton
Landlord and trade work in West Pelton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Pelton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
