Bath re-enamelling for Gowdall homes

Bath re-enamelling in Gowdall without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Gowdall: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you cover Gowdall?

We do. Technicians travel to Gowdall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Gowdall, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Gowdall

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What we’re called out for in Gowdall

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Gowdall contact us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
