Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Upper Knowle, Bristol
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Upper Knowle, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Upper Knowle, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
