DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling in Penselwood without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penselwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Penselwood?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
