The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Fivehead

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fivehead

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Fivehead. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

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

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking

FAQs for Fivehead

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

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

Do you come to Fivehead?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Fivehead

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
