Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shoscombe
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shoscombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from Shoscombe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Shoscombe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Shoscombe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shoscombe and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
When to call us in Shoscombe
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Shoscombe contact us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
