Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Felmingham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Common problems we fix in Felmingham
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Felmingham contact us include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

FAQs for Felmingham
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Felmingham. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
