Trusted bath re-enamelling in Farndish

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Farndish. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

About our bath re-enamelling in Farndish

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Farndish

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farndish

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farndish as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
