Trusted bath re-enamelling in Pitchcombe

Bath re-enamelling in Pitchcombe without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pitchcombe and across Gloucestershire.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Pitchcombe. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

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

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Pitchcombe

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Pitchcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Pitchcombe

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Pitchcombe.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
