- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Bath re-enamelling in Gigg without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gigg. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Gigg
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
