What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace in Rockstowes?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Rockstowes: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Rockstowes and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Rockstowes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rockstowes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Rockstowes

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rockstowes as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
