Bath re-enamelling in Darby Green without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Darby Green

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

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

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

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
