Bath Re-enamelling in Goodrington
Damaged bath in Goodrington? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Goodrington
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Goodrington: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Goodrington?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Goodrington
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goodrington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why Goodrington customers choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Goodrington. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
