About our bath re-enamelling in Frankwell

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Frankwell: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Frankwell?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY1 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

If you are in Frankwell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Frankwell?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frankwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
