Bath re-enamelling in Fordyce, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fordyce as everywhere else we work.

Fordyce questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Fordyce?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fordyce
If you manage property in Fordyce, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Victorian roll-tops

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fordyce, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
