Bath re-enamelling in Capel without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Capel
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Capel?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA15 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Capel. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Capel
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
