Bath re-enamelling in Podimore, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Podimore use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Podimore
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Podimore contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Podimore
Repair or replace in Podimore?
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. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Podimore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Podimore
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you come to Podimore?
We do. We send a technician to Podimore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
