Repair or replace in Doughton?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What we’re called out for in Doughton

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Doughton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Doughton
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
