Bath re-enamelling in Dean Bank without replacing anything

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 regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

What we’re called out for in Dean Bank

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures 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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dean Bank

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dean Bank

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dean Bank use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
