How we handle bath re-enamelling in Baker's Hill
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Baker's Hill?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Baker's Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Baker's Hill
Do you work in Baker's Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Baker's Hill and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the bath out?

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
