Bath re-enamelling near Dhustone

Bath re-enamelling in Dhustone without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Dhustone

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
