Bath re-enamelling in Elm Tree Farm, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Elm Tree Farm

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Elm Tree Farm

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Elm Tree Farm. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Elm Tree Farm, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When to call us in Elm Tree Farm

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
