Bath re-enamelling near Goodwood

Bath re-enamelling in Goodwood, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Goodwood questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you come to Goodwood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Goodwood and the rest of Leicester. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we are called out for in Goodwood

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

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

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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