About our bath re-enamelling in Gogar
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Gogar
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price

Advice
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Gogar
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
