About our bath re-enamelling in Gunville
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Gunville
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Gunville. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Gunville, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Gunville
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
