- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Bath re-enamelling in Old Gore without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Old Gore: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Old Gore?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Old Gore from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Old Gore

Should you replace it?
