Bath re-enamelling in Combe St Nicholas, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Combe St Nicholas
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Combe St Nicholas
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Combe St Nicholas use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
