How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whatton-in-the-Vale
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
