Bath Re-enamelling for Fairhaven homes
Damaged bath in Fairhaven? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Fairhaven
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Fairhaven questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When to call us in Fairhaven
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Fairhaven. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Fairhaven get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairhaven
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairhaven use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
