How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gorsebrook
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Gorsebrook
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Gorsebrook
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What affects the price in Gorsebrook
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
