Bath re-enamelling near Danehill

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath re-enamelling in Danehill without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Danehill

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Danehill

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What affects the price in Danehill

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Danehill. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
