Bath re-enamelling at your home in Yarcombe
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, 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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Yarcombe?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Yarcombe
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
