How we handle bath re-enamelling in Buckland Common
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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

Buckland Common: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover Buckland Common?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Buckland Common. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What affects the price in Buckland Common
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Buckland Common. The price comes down to:

- The material
We don’t add 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.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What else we do in Buckland Common
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
