- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gate Head
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gate Head
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gate Head, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairing versus replacing in Gate Head
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically 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.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
