Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cockshoot, Gloucestershire
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Cockshoot and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cockshoot
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 a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cockshoot: your questions answered
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cockshoot?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are there extra charges for Cockshoot?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Cockshoot
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When to call us in Cockshoot
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for 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 whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
