Bath re-enamelling in Knowle West without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlord and trade work in Knowle West
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Knowle West

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Repair or replace in Knowle West?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
