Bath re-enamelling in Gornal without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Gornal. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gornal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

FAQs for Gornal
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gornal
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
