Trusted bath re-enamelling in Fairlee

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fairlee

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Fairlee, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairlee

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fairlee?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Fairlee questions

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
