Bath re-enamelling for Dockenfield homes

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dockenfield

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Dockenfield

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What affects the price in Dockenfield

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Dockenfield

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Dockenfield: your questions answered

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • No extra charge for your area

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
