Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fencott
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fencott
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Fencott contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths

What affects the price in Fencott
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fencott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no 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.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Fencott
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
