Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kingston St Mary
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kingston St Mary and across Somerset.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Advice
FAQs for Kingston St Mary
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Kingston St Mary
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
