Common questions in Freefolk
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you cover Freefolk?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Freefolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Freefolk without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Freefolk as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we are called out for in Freefolk
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Freefolk contact us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Freefolk
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
