Bath Re-enamelling for Gadshill homes
Damaged bath in Gadshill? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gadshill
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Gadshill
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gadshill
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Common questions in Gadshill
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
