Bath re-enamelling in Knowle without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Knowle
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Knowle, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Knowle
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
