What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Nailsworth. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Nailsworth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Nailsworth?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Common problems we fix in Nailsworth
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Nailsworth contact us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: 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 just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

What else we do in Nailsworth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
