Bath re-enamelling near Dayhouse Bank

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dayhouse Bank

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Dayhouse Bank, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Dayhouse Bank

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Common problems we fix in Dayhouse Bank

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dayhouse Bank. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
