Bath re-enamelling in Godshill, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Godshill

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you come to Godshill?

We do. We send a technician to Godshill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Godshill

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Godshill

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Godshill

For anyone letting property in or around Godshill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
