Bath re-enamelling for Gill's Green homes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Gill's Green

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gill's Green

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gill's Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Gill's Green

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
