Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in Fullwell Cross, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Common questions in Fullwell Cross
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Fullwell Cross?
We do. Technicians travel to Fullwell Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What affects the price in Fullwell Cross
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fullwell Cross?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
