  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Bath re-enamelling in Folly Town, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Folly Town?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Folly Town questions

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
