Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dalton

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Dalton

Do I have to be there?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dalton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dalton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dalton?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
