Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Iveston, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Iveston
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What else we do in Iveston
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Iveston?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Iveston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Iveston questions
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
