Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
About our bath re-enamelling in Gosmore
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gosmore as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gosmore use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
What we are called out for in Gosmore
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
Gosmore: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
