About our bath re-enamelling in Yate Rocks
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Yate Rocks
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Questions from Yate Rocks
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the whole of South Gloucestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Yate Rocks and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Yate Rocks?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that will not shift

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
