- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
The process
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 work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gubbion's Green
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Repairing versus replacing in Gubbion's Green
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the entire UK

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gubbion's Green. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Gubbion's Green
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
