Need bath re-enamelling in Uley?

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Uley, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Uley and across Gloucestershire.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Uley. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Uley

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in Uley contact us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Uley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

FAQs for Uley

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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