Bath re-enamelling in Ditton, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ditton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Ditton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Ditton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ditton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
