About our bath re-enamelling in Churchtown
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Churchtown get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Common questions in Churchtown
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Churchtown.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Common problems we fix in Churchtown
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
