How we handle bath re-enamelling in Taunton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Common problems we fix in Taunton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white

FAQs for Taunton
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you come to Taunton?
We do. We send a technician to Taunton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
