Bath re-enamelling for Timberscombe homes

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Bath re-enamelling in Timberscombe, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Timberscombe. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Timberscombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Timberscombe

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Timberscombe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Timberscombe: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
