How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Bowood
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Bowood as everywhere else we work.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in South Bowood
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One-year guarantee on every repair

South Bowood: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
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 if you’d like.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Bowood?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
