Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Longhope, Gloucestershire
Bath re-enamelling across Longhope and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
About our bath re-enamelling in Longhope
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longhope and across Gloucestershire.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longhope as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Longhope. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common questions in Longhope
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Longhope?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to Longhope?

What information do you need?

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
