Bath re-enamelling in Trebarber without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Trebarber
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Trebarber, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Trebarber: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Trebarber?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
