What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Gamston: your questions answered
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG2 postcode.
Do you work in Gamston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gamston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What affects the price in Gamston
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Gamston. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gamston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Gamston
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace in Gamston?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
