Bath re-enamelling in Pill without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Pill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pill?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Common questions in Pill
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
