Bath re-enamelling at your home in Minsterworth

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Minsterworth

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Minsterworth included. Travel is included in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minsterworth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Common problems we fix in Minsterworth

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

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

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
