How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tonwell
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tonwell?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

FAQs for Tonwell
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Tonwell?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
