Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fancott use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fancott
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fancott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fancott
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Fancott
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Fancott
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
