Bath re-enamelling near Gourdon

What affects the price in Gourdon

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Gourdon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gourdon

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Gourdon

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
