How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Farringdon

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Upper Farringdon

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Upper Farringdon

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Upper Farringdon contact us are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Upper Farringdon

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.
