Bath re-enamelling in Stroud without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Stroud

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stroud. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stroud use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stroud?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

FAQs for Stroud

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Stroud?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stroud and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stroud.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
