About our bath re-enamelling in Brain's Green
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brain's Green and across Gloucestershire.

Landlord and trade work in Brain's Green
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Brain's Green: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you come to Brain's Green?
We do. We send a technician to Brain's Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What else we do in Brain's Green
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brain's Green
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Close by, we cover Viney Hill (1 mile south-west), Blakeney (1 mile east), Ayleford (1 mile north), Bledisloe (2 miles north-east) and Upper Soudley (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Gloucester (13 miles north-east), Stroud (11 miles east), Brockworth (15 miles north-east), Quedgeley (10 miles north-east), Lydney (3 miles south-west) and Innsworth (15 miles north-east).

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Brain's Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
