Bath Re-enamelling for Gunnista homes
Our technicians come to Gunnista for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Gunnista and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath re-enamelling in Gunnista, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gunnista?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repairing versus replacing in Gunnista
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Gunnista
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Gunnista?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
