How we handle bath re-enamelling in Winskill
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
