How we handle bath re-enamelling in Silver Street
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Silver Street and across Gloucestershire.

Common questions in Silver Street
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Landlord and trade work in Silver Street
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Silver Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 affects the price in Silver Street
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
