How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gilcrux
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Gilcrux questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top 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.

Repair or replace in Gilcrux?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gilcrux?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Gilcrux
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
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.
