Bath re-enamelling in Faifley without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Faifley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Faifley: your questions answered

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are there extra charges for Faifley?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When to call us in Faifley

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Faifley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
