Bath re-enamelling in Chaffcombe without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chaffcombe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common questions in Chaffcombe
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Chaffcombe?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Chaffcombe?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chaffcombe. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
