- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Gaulby
- Pressed steel baths

What else we do in Gaulby
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gaulby
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

What affects the price in Gaulby
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gaulby. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gaulby
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
