Bath re-enamelling in Gelsmoor without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Gelsmoor
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Gelsmoor?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gelsmoor?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

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 needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Gelsmoor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Gelsmoor
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
