Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Bath re-enamelling in Darwin Park, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Darwin Park

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Darwin Park

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Darwin Park

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we can’t put right

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
