Bath re-enamelling in Clifton upon Dunsmore, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Clifton upon Dunsmore get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Clifton upon Dunsmore

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Clifton upon Dunsmore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
