Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Slad
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Slad get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Slad questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Slad?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Slad. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Slad included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Slad
For anyone letting property in or around Slad, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
