Bath re-enamelling for Furzehill homes

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Furzehill

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Furzehill

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Furzehill?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace in Furzehill?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
