Bath Re-enamelling in Forncett St Mary

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Forncett St Mary without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Forncett St Mary
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forncett St Mary
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forncett St Mary use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
