How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Friars Cliff?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Friars Cliff. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
FAQs for Friars Cliff
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace in Friars Cliff?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
