Bath re-enamelling in Fairy Cross, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fairy Cross as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Fairy Cross get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
FAQs for Fairy Cross
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
