- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nettlecombe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Nettlecombe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Nettlecombe questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Landlord and trade work in Nettlecombe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Nettlecombe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
