About our bath re-enamelling in Luxley

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Luxley and across Gloucestershire.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Luxley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Luxley: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you come to Luxley?

We do. We send a technician to Luxley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

What we’re called out for in Luxley

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
