Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Ruardean, Gloucestershire
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Ruardean and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ruardean. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Bath re-enamelling in Ruardean without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Ruardean: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Ruardean and the surrounding area
Ruardean is about 4 miles south of Ross-on-Wye, in Gloucestershire. Clients in Ruardean get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from photos, and a technician at your door on the day. Ruardean is one of 470 towns and villages in Gloucestershire where we work. We work right across the region, from Ruardean to Birmingham (51 miles away).
Here we cover the GL17 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, The Square and School Road. We also travel to Ruardean Woodside (1 mile south-east), The Pludds (1 mile south), Ruardean Hill (1 mile south-east), Hope Mansell (1 mile north) and Joys Green (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cover Gloucester (14 miles east), Quedgeley (12 miles east), Lydney (9 miles south), Innsworth (15 miles east), Tredworth (13 miles east) and Kingsway Village (12 miles east).

Further afield, we also cover the area around Ruardyn Castle (less than half a mile north) and Dilke Memorial Hospital (3.4 miles south-east). Not far away are Wigpool and Ruardean Hill.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ruardean
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruardean use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
