Bath re-enamelling in Iford without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Iford
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage

FAQs for Iford
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Iford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Iford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
