How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stroud Common

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. 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.

Common questions in Stroud Common

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stroud Common?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
