About our bath re-enamelling in Matson
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Matson
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Different materials, different repairs
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. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Matson
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?

Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long does re-enamelling take?

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
