What we’re called out for in Forest Green

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

About our bath re-enamelling in Forest Green

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Forest Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forest Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Forest Green: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
