Bath Re-enamelling for Plot Gate homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Plot Gate, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in Plot Gate
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. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Plot Gate questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Plot Gate?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Plot Gate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace in Plot Gate?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we’re called out for in Plot Gate
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
