About our bath re-enamelling in Barton St David
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Barton St David, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barton St David
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Barton St David questions
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.
Repairing versus replacing in Barton St David
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
