Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling in Pegsdon, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pegsdon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Pegsdon. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Pegsdon
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
