Bath re-enamelling in Foulford

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Foulford without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Foulford

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Foulford questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What affects the price in Foulford

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Foulford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
