Bath re-enamelling near Little Frieth

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Little Frieth, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Frieth

If you manage property in Little Frieth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Frieth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What we’re called out for in Little Frieth

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Repairs by material

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.

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 check it carefully.

Little Frieth: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Little Frieth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Little Frieth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
