Bath re-enamelling in Dalebank

What we are called out for in Dalebank

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Bath re-enamelling in Dalebank without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
