Bath re-enamelling in Freston without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Freston questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Freston.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Freston included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Freston. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Freston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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 the part we put right.
What we are called out for in Freston
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
