Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Flemings, done in place

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. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Flemings

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Questions from Flemings

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows 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.
