Trusted bath re-enamelling in Dalton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dalton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace in Dalton?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Dalton clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

What we are called out for in Dalton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Dalton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
