About our bath re-enamelling in Ditton Priors

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Common problems we fix in Ditton Priors

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white

How to compare quotes

Ditton Priors: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ditton Priors?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Ditton Priors get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ditton Priors

If you manage property in Ditton Priors, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Ditton Priors

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
