How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nailwell
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nailwell
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Nailwell
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Nailwell?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Nailwell?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Nailwell
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What a repair can’t fix

- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Nailwell. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
