Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Daleford, Cheshire West and Chester
Damaged bath in Daleford? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Daleford
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Daleford
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Daleford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Daleford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

- What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Daleford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair

- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Daleford
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Daleford
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
