Bath re-enamelling in Stogumber without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stogumber and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
For a price in Stogumber, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Common questions in Stogumber
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stogumber?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA4 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
