How we handle bath re-enamelling in Joys Green
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Joys Green questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Joys Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Joys Green and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
