Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hengrove, Bristol
Our technicians come to Hengrove for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Common problems we fix in Hengrove
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
Bath re-enamelling in Hengrove without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hengrove. The price reflects:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Hengrove
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hengrove
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
