10 questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling in Frampton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Frampton questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Frampton

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

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

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.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 is what we repair.
