Bath re-enamelling in Fifehead Magdalen, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Fifehead Magdalen
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
