Bath re-enamelling for Gosford homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Gosford

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gosford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gosford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Gosford

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gosford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Gosford

How do I book?

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
