About our bath re-enamelling in Farcet

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Farcet

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Farcet. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Repairing versus replacing in Farcet

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Farcet customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farcet

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Farcet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Most customers in Farcet get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Farcet?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Farcet contact us are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
