Bath re-enamelling for Foxholes homes

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Foxholes?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

About our bath re-enamelling in Foxholes

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Foxholes and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
