Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
About our bath re-enamelling in Yeovilton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Yeovilton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Yeovilton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
