Bath re-enamelling in Didmarton without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Didmarton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Didmarton: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Didmarton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Didmarton and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
