How we handle bath re-enamelling in Golant
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

FAQs for Golant
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Golant?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Golant. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
