Bath re-enamelling in Golden Valley

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Golden Valley

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Golden Valley

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Golden Valley

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Golden Valley

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Are there extra charges for Golden Valley?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Golden Valley

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
