Bath re-enamelling in Lydbrook, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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 what we repair.

Landlord and trade work in Lydbrook
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Lydbrook
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Lydbrook, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

FAQs for Lydbrook
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Lydbrook?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lydbrook and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
