About our bath re-enamelling in Darley Green

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Darley Green, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Darley Green

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

When to call us in Darley Green

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Darley Green

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

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.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

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