Bath re-enamelling in Chambercombe 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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common questions in Chambercombe
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chambercombe?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What affects the price in Chambercombe
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chambercombe. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Chambercombe, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Chambercombe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX34 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
