Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths

Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Knowle
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knowle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Knowle. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: 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 is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Knowle
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
