About our bath re-enamelling in Fownhope
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fownhope
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairing versus replacing in Fownhope
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start 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.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Fownhope, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
