What else we do in Gibraltar
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Advice
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Questions from Gibraltar
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Gibraltar?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gibraltar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gibraltar
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
