Bath re-enamelling for Darsham homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Darsham

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Darsham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Darsham questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page or bath cost comparison.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Darsham

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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