Common questions in Gaskins
Which areas do you work in?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Gaskins?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO33 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you work in Gaskins?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gaskins and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Isle of Wight.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What affects the price in Gaskins
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What else we do in Gaskins
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Gaskins
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
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.

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we 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.
