Bath re-enamelling in Southmead without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Southmead. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Southmead?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
