Trusted bath re-enamelling in Franche

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Franche

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Franche

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Franche

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Franche

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
