Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coleford Water

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Coleford Water

Do you come to Coleford Water?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Coleford Water and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

When to call us in Coleford Water

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
