Bath re-enamelling at your home in Farmborough

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Farmborough and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Farmborough: your questions answered

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover Farmborough?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Farmborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in Farmborough

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Farmborough?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
