Bath re-enamelling in Fletton without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Fletton. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Fletton
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
When to call us in Fletton
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Landlord and trade work in Fletton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
