Bath re-enamelling in Willingham by Stow, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Willingham by Stow
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
