Landlords, agents and businesses in Gillock
For anyone letting property in or around Gillock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Bath re-enamelling in Gillock, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

What affects the price in Gillock
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Gillock
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gillock.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
