About our bath re-enamelling in West Down
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in West Down and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

West Down: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for West Down?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in West Down?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

- Where you are, by postcode

If you are in West Down and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Down?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
