Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Bath re-enamelling in Gunthorpe without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Gunthorpe
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What we’re called out for in Gunthorpe
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunthorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Gunthorpe
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
