Bath re-enamelling in Puckaster without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Puckaster
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Isle of Wight.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you cover Puckaster?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Puckaster and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Puckaster
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
