About our bath re-enamelling in Down Ampney
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Down Ampney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Down Ampney: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Down Ampney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
