Bath re-enamelling in Foulden without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Foulden
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Foulden. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Foulden

FAQs for Foulden
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Foulden included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
