Bath re-enamelling in Fleckney without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Fleckney and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fleckney

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Fleckney

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
