About our bath re-enamelling in Gate Foot
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
FAQs for Gate Foot
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
Across the UK, so Gate Foot is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 usually the cheaper route.

Advice
What affects the price in Gate Foot
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gate Foot use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
