Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Briston without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Other services in Briston
Briston: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Briston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Briston
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
