Bath re-enamelling in Fleeden without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Fleeden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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

What affects the price in Fleeden

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Fleeden. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fleeden

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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