Barnwood questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
About our bath re-enamelling in Barnwood
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when 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 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 usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Barnwood
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Barnwood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
