Bath re-enamelling for Gorebridge homes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gorebridge

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gorebridge

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Gorebridge?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorebridge

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Gorebridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Gorebridge

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gorebridge. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gorebridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
