About our bath re-enamelling in Holcombe
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Holcombe as everywhere else we work.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Holcombe questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Holcombe?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Holcombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
