About our bath re-enamelling in Foreland Fields

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Foreland Fields and across Isle of Wight.

What affects the price in Foreland Fields

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Foreland Fields

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?

Across the UK, and that includes Foreland Fields. Prices do not change with location.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Foreland Fields

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Foreland Fields

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
