About our bath re-enamelling in Fairview
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Fairview
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole

FAQs for Fairview
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fairview?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlord and trade work in Fairview
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
