Bath re-enamelling in Goldhanger, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace in Goldhanger?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Goldhanger
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Common problems we fix in Goldhanger
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Goldhanger: your questions answered
Do you cover Goldhanger?
We do. We send a technician to Goldhanger for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
