Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gittisham

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Gittisham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Gittisham contact us are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Gittisham

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you come to Gittisham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Gittisham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Gittisham?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
