Bath Re-enamelling in Withywood
Our repair technicians come to Withywood for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Withywood
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bristol.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Withywood
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
