Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling in Gateford without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Gateford
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Gateford: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Gateford?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you come to Gateford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Gateford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Gateford
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gateford
