About our bath re-enamelling in Flixborough
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Questions from Flixborough
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Flixborough?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Landlord and trade work in Flixborough
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flixborough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Flixborough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairing versus replacing in Flixborough
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
