Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Purn
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Purn: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Purn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Purn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Common problems we fix in Purn
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Purn

- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Purn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
