Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gissing
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. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Gissing
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Gissing: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are there extra charges for Gissing?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What else we do in Gissing
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: 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 any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gissing. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Gissing
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
