About our bath re-enamelling in Fogwatt

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fogwatt?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

How to compare quotes

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows 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.

Fogwatt questions

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you cover Fogwatt?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Fogwatt. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Fogwatt

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Fogwatt, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
