Bath re-enamelling at your home in Backwell
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, 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.

What affects the price in Backwell
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Backwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Backwell
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Backwell?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we are called out for in Backwell
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
