Bath re-enamelling in Gentleshaw, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Gentleshaw

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Gentleshaw contact us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Gentleshaw

  • Basins & shower trays

What affects the price in Gentleshaw

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gentleshaw. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Gentleshaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gentleshaw

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
