About our bath re-enamelling in Affpuddle
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Affpuddle
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you come to Affpuddle?
We do. We send a technician to Affpuddle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Affpuddle
- Cast iron baths

What we are called out for in Affpuddle

Customers normally contact us about:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Affpuddle. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Affpuddle, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
