Bath re-enamelling in Forton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Forton: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Forton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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 to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
