Trusted bath re-enamelling in Felton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Felton

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Felton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Felton

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Felton: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
