About our bath re-enamelling in Tredworth

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tredworth. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

FAQs for Tredworth

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tredworth included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tredworth

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
