How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fenton

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fenton?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Fenton questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fenton?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CA8 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Fenton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fenton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fenton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
