How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gold Street

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Gold Street

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we’re called out for in Gold Street

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Gold Street

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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’s what we repair.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gold Street

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
