Bath re-enamelling in Coalpit Heath without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Coalpit Heath as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Coalpit Heath
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
