Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upper Harbledown
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Upper Harbledown

Common problems we fix in Upper Harbledown
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Upper Harbledown
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the new finish last?

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Upper Harbledown?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, 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.
