Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fulford

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Fulford

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Fulford

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Across the UK, so Fulford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

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 is the part we put right.
