About our bath re-enamelling in Zelah
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Zelah
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
Zelah: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
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 will tell you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
