The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gate Burton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gate Burton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
