Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dinnet

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Dinnet. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Dinnet

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dinnet

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When to call us in Dinnet

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

Common reasons people in Dinnet contact us are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
