Farthing Green questions
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Farthing Green?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Farthing Green?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Farthing Green
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Farthing Green
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Farthing Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Farthing Green

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farthing Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
