Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bishop's Cleeve
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bishop's Cleeve as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Questions from Bishop's Cleeve
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What we’re called out for in Bishop's Cleeve
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
