Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in North Common, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Common
Do you cover the entire of South Gloucestershire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes North Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including North Common. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in North Common, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in North Common
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
