Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ditton

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ditton

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

Advice

What affects the price in Ditton

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Ditton

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

Ditton: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ditton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ditton

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ditton

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
