How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

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

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Dewlish

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Dewlish

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, 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. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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 a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
