Trusted bath re-enamelling in Fulbrook

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fulbrook

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fulbrook

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you work in Fulbrook?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Fulbrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

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

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Fulbrook

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fulbrook

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Fulbrook and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
