Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Farden, Shropshire
We travel to Farden for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Farden
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the 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.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Farden, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
FAQs for Farden
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Farden. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you work in Farden?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Farden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
