Questions from Fairwater
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
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.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Repairing versus replacing in Fairwater
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Landlord and trade work in Fairwater
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Fairwater
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
