About our bath re-enamelling in Nanstallon
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Nanstallon
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Nanstallon, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

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.
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.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Nanstallon
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
