Flimby questions
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you come to Flimby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Flimby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Flimby without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Flimby?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Flimby. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Flimby, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
