Trusted bath re-enamelling in Fremington

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fremington

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Fremington questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fremington

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. 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.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
