Book bath re-enamelling in Fosten Green

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fosten Green

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Questions from Fosten Green

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fosten Green?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How the visit works

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 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. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fosten Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
