Bath re-enamelling in Goddington without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Goddington?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Goddington: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Goddington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Goddington and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
