Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cinderford
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. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cinderford?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Cinderford contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cinderford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Questions from Cinderford
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Cinderford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cinderford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
