Bath re-enamelling in Pontshill, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pontshill and across Herefordshire.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pontshill
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Pontshill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Are there extra charges for Pontshill?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
