Bath re-enamelling at your home in Metcombe
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
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 it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairing versus replacing in Metcombe
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Metcombe
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
