Bath re-enamelling in Kingsholm without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Kingsholm
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Kingsholm: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you come to Kingsholm?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Kingsholm and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kingsholm. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
