Our technicians come to Gawthorpe for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gawthorpe
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Gawthorpe
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common questions in Gawthorpe
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Gawthorpe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work in Gawthorpe?
We do. Technicians travel to Gawthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
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 affects the price in Gawthorpe
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Gawthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
