How we handle bath re-enamelling in Baltonsborough
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Baltonsborough questions
Do you cover Baltonsborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Baltonsborough and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
