Bath re-enamelling near Dawesgreen

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dawesgreen

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dawesgreen. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlord and trade work in Dawesgreen

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Dawesgreen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dawesgreen

  • Basins & shower trays

Questions from Dawesgreen

Are there extra charges for Dawesgreen?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Dawesgreen is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures 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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dawesgreen?

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
