For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

About our bath re-enamelling in Goldcliff

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Goldcliff. What changes the price is:

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

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Goldcliff get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Goldcliff

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Newport.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the entire of Newport?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

When to call us in Goldcliff

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
