Bath Re-enamelling in Fishpool
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Fishpool, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fishpool
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Fishpool?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fishpool?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Fishpool contact us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
