Bath re-enamelling in Hartcliffe, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Hartcliffe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairing versus replacing in Hartcliffe
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hartcliffe. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Hartcliffe: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
