Bath re-enamelling in Fishtoft, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Fishtoft

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Fishtoft?

Resurfacing 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 PE21 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Fishtoft

For anyone letting property in or around Fishtoft, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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