Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath re-enamelling in Ford without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Ford: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ford?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ford. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
