Questions from Compton Valence
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Compton Valence without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When to call us in Compton Valence
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
