Bath re-enamelling in St Budeaux without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Budeaux, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in St Budeaux
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Budeaux
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

St Budeaux: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are there extra charges for St Budeaux?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
