Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gorefield
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorefield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gorefield?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What affects the price in Gorefield
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gorefield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Gorefield
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
