- Resurfacing from £350

Should you replace it?
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 normally wins. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath re-enamelling in Goonbell without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Goonbell
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Goonbell. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Goonbell
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Goonbell is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Goonbell?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Most clients in Goonbell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
