The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Totham Hill
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Totham Hill
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are there extra charges for Totham Hill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Totham Hill
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Totham Hill
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
