About our bath re-enamelling in Symonds Yat

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Symonds Yat. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Symonds Yat

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Symonds Yat use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Common questions in Symonds Yat

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HR9 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Repair or replace in Symonds Yat?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HR9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
