Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Forsbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Forsbrook without replacing anything

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 a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Forsbrook get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forsbrook as well as householders. 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, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Forsbrook

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover Forsbrook?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Forsbrook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Forsbrook?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST11 postcode.

How do I book?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Forsbrook

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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 have it stripped and resurfaced.
