About our bath re-enamelling in Short Street
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Short Street
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
