About our bath re-enamelling in Street Gate
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Common questions in Street Gate
Do you work in Street Gate?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Street Gate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Street Gate, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Street Gate
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
