About our bath re-enamelling in Fordham Heath
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. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Fordham Heath and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
