About our bath re-enamelling in Goosey
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

What we’re called out for in Goosey
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Goosey
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Goosey
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Goosey. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
