About our bath re-enamelling in Barrow Gurney

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Barrow Gurney

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Barrow Gurney. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barrow Gurney use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
