Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Coleford, Gloucestershire
Problem with your bath in Coleford? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling in Coleford, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Questions from Coleford
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coleford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
