How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gunn
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gunn and across Devon.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gunn
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Gunn?
We do. We send a technician to Gunn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Gunn?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

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 the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Most customers in Gunn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack

Materials we repair

- Cast iron baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Gunn
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
