Bath re-enamelling in Henbury, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Henbury
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Henbury and the rest of Bristol. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Henbury?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Henbury, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
