About our bath re-enamelling in West Butsfield
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 often lifts.
What we’re called out for in West Butsfield
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for West Butsfield. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
If you’re in West Butsfield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Butsfield
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairing versus replacing in West Butsfield
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
