Do you need bath re-enamelling in Freemantle?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Freemantle
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Most clients in Freemantle get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Freemantle
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Freemantle. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
