What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling in Kentisbury without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Kentisbury
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you work in Kentisbury?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kentisbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Kentisbury. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Kentisbury
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kentisbury?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
