About our bath re-enamelling in Bowers Gifford
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
