DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Backwell Green
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Somerset.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Backwell Green
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places

The process
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 clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common questions in Backwell Green
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
