Bath re-enamelling in Somerwood, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Somerwood?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Somerwood
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.

Other services in Somerwood
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on 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
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Somerwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
