About our bath re-enamelling in Goldsithney

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Goldsithney customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in Goldsithney

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you come to Goldsithney?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Goldsithney. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Goldsithney

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
