- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Foxley
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Foxley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Foxley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Foxley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Foxley. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Foxley?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
