If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Bath re-enamelling in Parkgate, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Parkgate questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Parkgate?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
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’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Parkgate. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Parkgate and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Parkgate
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. 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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
