Bath Re-enamelling in Gnosall Heath
Problem with your bath in Gnosall Heath? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Gnosall Heath, done in place
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 work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Gnosall Heath
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you come to Gnosall Heath?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gnosall Heath and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlord and trade work in Gnosall Heath
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
