Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fishponds
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. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Fishponds: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fishponds
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- How your room will be protected
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
