Bath re-enamelling in Coney Hill without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coney Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coney Hill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coney Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common questions in Coney Hill
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
