Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Caundle?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

About our bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Caundle
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Bishop's Caundle: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
