Bath re-enamelling near Dudbridge

Repair or replace in Dudbridge?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Bath re-enamelling in Dudbridge without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Dudbridge

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

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

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
