About our bath re-enamelling in Iford
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Iford
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Iford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Iford
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business

- Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Iford. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
