Bath re-enamelling in Dicklant without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Dicklant

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Dicklant questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
