Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Locksbrook, Bath and North East Somerset
We travel to Locksbrook for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling in Locksbrook without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Locksbrook and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Locksbrook
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Locksbrook. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we are called out for in Locksbrook
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
