Trusted bath re-enamelling in Furnace

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Furnace

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

  • Holes rusted through the metal

Common problems we fix in Furnace

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

FAQs for Furnace

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Furnace?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Furnace

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
