FAQs for Elton
Which areas do you work in?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Bath re-enamelling in Elton, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What affects the price in Elton
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Repairs by material
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.
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.
What we are called out for in Elton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
