Bath re-enamelling in Townsend without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Townsend. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Townsend use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
