Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bourton, North Somerset
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Bourton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bourton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bourton and across North Somerset.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bourton?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What affects the price in Bourton
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bourton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Bourton
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
