Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Knapp, Somerset
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Knapp. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath re-enamelling in Knapp, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Knapp
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Knapp questions
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Common problems we fix in Knapp
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
