Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bower Ashton
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal

Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

- A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions from Bower Ashton
Do you cover the entire of Bristol?
Across the UK, and that includes Bower Ashton. Prices do not change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair

- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
