Forest Corner: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Forest Corner without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Forest Corner
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Forest Corner?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
