Bath re-enamelling in Pontshill Marsh without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Pontshill Marsh
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on 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 which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Questions from Pontshill Marsh
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
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 price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s 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.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Common problems we fix in Pontshill Marsh
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
