Bath re-enamelling for Gorsley Common homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

About our bath re-enamelling in Gorsley Common

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Gorsley Common

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Gorsley Common?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gorsley Common. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gorsley Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Gorsley Common

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
