Bath Re-enamelling in Colston
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Colston and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Colston without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Colston
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colston
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
