Bath re-enamelling in Cole without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cole and across Somerset.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Cole, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cole use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Cole
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA10 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
