How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cheltenham

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cheltenham

Which areas do you work in?

All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cheltenham?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cheltenham

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:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Cheltenham?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Cheltenham

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

What affects the price in Cheltenham

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
