Bath re-enamelling in Mangotsfield

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mangotsfield

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. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done 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.

Landlord and trade work in Mangotsfield

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Mangotsfield

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Mangotsfield?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Mangotsfield. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Mangotsfield

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
