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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Selsley, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What we’re called out for in Selsley
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Selsley contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Common questions in Selsley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Selsley?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL5 postcode.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you come to Selsley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Selsley and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
