What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Pennycross without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Pennycross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Pennycross
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Common problems we fix in Pennycross
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
