How we handle bath re-enamelling in Henleaze
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Henleaze and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Henleaze
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Henleaze, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
