Bath re-enamelling for Diggle Green homes

Bath re-enamelling in Diggle Green without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Diggle Green: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Diggle Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Diggle Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Diggle Green

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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, with the outside refinished as well.
