Bath re-enamelling for Gorsley homes

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gorsley

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Gorsley

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, 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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gorsley

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Gorsley?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
