Bath re-enamelling at your home in Iron Acton
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Iron Acton as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

FAQs for Iron Acton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Iron Acton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Iron Acton and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Iron Acton. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Iron Acton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
