About our bath re-enamelling in Gowthorpe
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Gowthorpe questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Repair or replace in Gowthorpe?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What we are called out for in Gowthorpe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, 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 roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
