What affects the price in Speed Gate
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Speed Gate
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common problems we fix in Speed Gate
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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 what we repair.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Speed Gate
Do I need to be at home?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you quote from photos?

Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
