Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Questions from Hook-a-Gate
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hook-a-Gate?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hook-a-Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hook-a-Gate?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
