Repairing versus replacing in Dalton
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Dalton customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dalton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Dalton
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Dalton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dalton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Landlord and trade work in Dalton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Dalton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
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
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
