About our bath re-enamelling in Combe Pafford
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Combe Pafford
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Combe Pafford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Combe Pafford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Combe Pafford
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Combe Pafford
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
