Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Frecheville
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Frecheville
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Frecheville. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Frecheville get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Frecheville
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Frecheville contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace in Frecheville?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
