Bath re-enamelling at your home in Downend
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Downend
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you come to Downend?
We do. We send a technician to Downend for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Downend?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
