Bath re-enamelling in Winterbourne without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot 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 work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Winterbourne as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairing versus replacing in Winterbourne

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

Winterbourne: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ME13 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When to call us in Winterbourne

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Winterbourne. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
