Bath re-enamelling in Flore

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Flore

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Flore

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Flore: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Flore included. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Flore?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Flore. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Most clients in Flore get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Flore

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
