Bath re-enamelling in Freiston without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Freiston

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Freiston questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Freiston?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Freiston. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Freiston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Freiston clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
