What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Flexbury, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Flexbury
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Flexbury. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Flexbury, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
