Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Bath re-enamelling in Knowle St Giles, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Knowle St Giles and across Somerset.

Repair or replace in Knowle St Giles?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Knowle St Giles
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover Knowle St Giles?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Knowle St Giles from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we are called out for in Knowle St Giles
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
