Bath re-enamelling in Fairoak without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Fairoak
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Fairoak?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fairoak?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairoak
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Fairoak

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
