Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Sling, Gloucestershire
Bath re-enamelling in and around Sling: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in Sling
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Sling
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover Sling?
We do. We send a technician to Sling for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Materials and what they mean for the 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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a full day.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Sling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Sling, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
