Bath re-enamelling at your home in Publow
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Other services in Publow
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Publow: your questions answered
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Publow?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS39 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairing versus replacing in Publow
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Publow. The price reflects:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS39 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
