  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling in Farnham without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Farnham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Common questions in Farnham

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

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

How it works

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 the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
