Bath re-enamelling in Widcombe without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Widcombe
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Widcombe
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you come to Widcombe?
We do. Technicians travel to Widcombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BA2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
