Bath re-enamelling at your home in Avon
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Avon
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Common questions in Avon
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Avon?
We do. We send a technician to Avon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Avon. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
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 job 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.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Most customers in Avon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
