Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Little Bristol, Gloucestershire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Little Bristol, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Little Bristol, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What affects the price in Little Bristol
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Little Bristol
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Little Bristol
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
