How we handle bath re-enamelling in Charlton Mackrell
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Charlton Mackrell
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton Mackrell
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
