About our bath re-enamelling in Gayton
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gayton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
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 won’t last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gayton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Gayton?
We do. We send a technician to Gayton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
