Bath re-enamelling at your home in Belchalwell
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Belchalwell questions
Do you work in Belchalwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Belchalwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Belchalwell?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
