Bath re-enamelling in Dalby

Questions from Dalby

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Bath re-enamelling in Dalby, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Dalby. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlord and trade work in Dalby

For anyone letting property in or around Dalby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
