How we handle bath re-enamelling in Force Green

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Force Green

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

When to call us in Force Green

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Force Green: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
