Bath re-enamelling near Fernhill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fernhill

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fernhill

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

FAQs for Fernhill

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Fernhill?

We do. We send a technician to Fernhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fernhill

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fernhill. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
