Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Foundry Town
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Bath re-enamelling in Foundry Town, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting 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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Foundry Town. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Foundry Town and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
