Bath Re-enamelling in Gedding
Bath re-enamelling in and around Gedding: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Gedding without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gedding. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gedding. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Gedding questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we’re called out for in Gedding
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
Landlord and trade work in Gedding
For anyone letting property in or around Gedding, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gedding as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
