Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fanshawe

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Fanshawe

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Fanshawe clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fanshawe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Fanshawe

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Are there extra charges for Fanshawe?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fanshawe.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Fanshawe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fanshawe?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
