Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wotton-under-Edge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Bath re-enamelling in Wotton-under-Edge without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Wotton-under-Edge

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wotton-under-Edge?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GL12 postcode.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Repairing versus replacing in Wotton-under-Edge

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wotton-under-Edge?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
