Bath re-enamelling in Bargate, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Bargate
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work in Bargate?
We do. Technicians travel to Bargate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bargate, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Bargate
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
