How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ellicombe
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Common problems we fix in Ellicombe
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body

Materials we work on in Ellicombe
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
