About our bath re-enamelling in Flete
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Flete and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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 we are called out for in Flete
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Flete
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Flete?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Flete from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
