Bath Re-enamelling in The Chessels
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in The Chessels and across Bristol. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in The Chessels
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from The Chessels
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in The Chessels?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
