Bath re-enamelling in Dadford without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Dadford

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dadford?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you cover Dadford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dadford and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your MK18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Dadford

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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