Bath re-enamelling in Bandonhill, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Bandonhill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Bandonhill
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bandonhill?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Repairing versus replacing in Bandonhill
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bandonhill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Bandonhill
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
