About our bath re-enamelling in Goose Hill

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When to call us in Goose Hill

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Goose Hill questions

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Landlord and trade work in Goose Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
