Bath re-enamelling at your home in Failand
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Common problems we fix in Failand
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

FAQs for Failand
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Failand?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you come to Failand?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Failand from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What else we do in Failand
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Failand
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
