What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Fersfield Common, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Fersfield Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we are called out for in Fersfield Common

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fersfield Common

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you come to Fersfield Common?

We do. Technicians travel to Fersfield Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
