Bath re-enamelling for Gedling homes

Questions from Gedling

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Gedling. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

About our bath re-enamelling in Gedling

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gedling as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gedling

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Gedling

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
