Darfoulds: your questions answered

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Bath re-enamelling in Darfoulds, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
