How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gilmonby
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Gilmonby
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilmonby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gilmonby?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
