Common questions in Moreland
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlord and trade work in Moreland
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Moreland
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
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.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
