- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Bath re-enamelling in Colston Bassett, done in place
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, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Colston Bassett
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Colston Bassett, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Colston Bassett
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Colston Bassett. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Colston Bassett, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Colston Bassett: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Colston Bassett?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Colston Bassett for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
