Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in North Gate
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

North Gate: your questions answered
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, North Gate included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Gate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to North Gate. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
