About our bath re-enamelling in Bournstream
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bournstream

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Bournstream questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
