How we handle bath re-enamelling in Flemington

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Flemington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

What we’re called out for in Flemington

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Flemington

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Flemington: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Flemington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Flemington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we do, step by step

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. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
