About our bath re-enamelling in Fairbourne Heath
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Fairbourne Heath
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairbourne Heath as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When to call us in Fairbourne Heath
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Fairbourne Heath
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Fairbourne Heath?
We do. We send a technician to Fairbourne Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
