Common questions in Saron
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 a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
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.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saron
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Saron
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
