About our bath re-enamelling in Plump Hill

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 often lifts.

FAQs for Plump Hill

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Plump Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Plump Hill and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Plump Hill?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Plump Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Plump Hill

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
