How we handle bath re-enamelling in Compton
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Compton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Compton
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Compton contact us are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
