Bath re-enamelling in Palacefields without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Palacefields
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Palacefields?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in Palacefields?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Palacefields?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
