What we are called out for in Farley Hill
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
Bath re-enamelling in Farley Hill, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Farley Hill
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
