Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Daws Heath

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Daws Heath. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Bath re-enamelling in Daws Heath, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When to call us in Daws Heath

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 will 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.
