Bath re-enamelling near Goose Eye

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Goose Eye

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Goose Eye, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Goose Eye customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Goose Eye: your questions answered

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Goose Eye get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
