We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frilford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Frilford
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
Frilford: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Frilford
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Frilford
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
