About our bath re-enamelling in Dursley

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Dursley

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Dursley: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you come to Dursley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dursley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Dursley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
