Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Darite

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Darite?

Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Darite
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darite use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
