About our bath re-enamelling in Gurnard
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gurnard
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Gurnard
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gurnard. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
