Bath Re-enamelling for Falkland homes
Bath re-enamelling for Falkland, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Falkland without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Falkland
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your KY15 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Falkland

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Repairing versus replacing in Falkland
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
