Bath re-enamelling in Forstal without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Forstal, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

FAQs for Forstal
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

We work UK-wide, so Forstal is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
