How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brimscombe. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Brimscombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath re-enamelling in Brimscombe, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in Brimscombe
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Brimscombe
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Brimscombe.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Brimscombe?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Brimscombe contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
