Bath re-enamelling in Gibraltar, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gibraltar. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gibraltar?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace in Gibraltar?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
