What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Frenchay, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Frenchay
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Frenchay questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Frenchay?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you come to Frenchay?
We do. We send a technician to Frenchay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Frenchay
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frenchay use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
