How we handle bath re-enamelling in Windy Arbour
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

What else we do in Windy Arbour
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Windy Arbour
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Windy Arbour, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WN5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
