Bath re-enamelling in New Gate without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

New Gate questions
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in New Gate?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Gate. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in New Gate
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for New Gate. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
