Bath re-enamelling for Firgo homes

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Firgo

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Firgo

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Firgo included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Firgo?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Firgo, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price
