Trusted bath re-enamelling in Dallington

Bath re-enamelling in Dallington, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dallington

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Dallington

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on 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 children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

What your bath is made of matters

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

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dallington?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

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

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
