Repairing versus replacing in Dacre
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dacre. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit

Bath re-enamelling in Dacre, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
FAQs for Dacre
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Dacre included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dacre?

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Dacre. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Dacre
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Common problems we fix in Dacre
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
