Bath re-enamelling in Goddard's Green

Bath re-enamelling in Goddard's Green, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Goddard's Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Goddard's Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goddard's Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Goddard's Green: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What affects the price in Goddard's Green

What your bath is made of matters

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 is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we’re called out for in Goddard's Green

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
