DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gayton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Gayton
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Gayton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
