About our bath re-enamelling in Heavitree
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Heavitree and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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 what we repair.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price

Questions from Heavitree
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Heavitree?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Heavitree?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Heavitree for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Heavitree
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
