Bath re-enamelling near Gold Hill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gold Hill

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gold Hill. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t 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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Gold Hill

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gold Hill

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Gold Hill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gold Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gold Hill?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
