Questions from Gay Street
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Bath re-enamelling in Gay Street without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gay Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace in Gay Street?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Gay Street
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
