Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Goldenhill

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can normally put it right.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goldenhill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Goldenhill

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Goldenhill

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for Goldenhill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we’re called out for in Goldenhill

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
