Bath re-enamelling for Docklow homes

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Docklow, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Docklow. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

FAQs for Docklow

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you come to Docklow?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Docklow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Docklow?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HR6 postcode.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Docklow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Docklow

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Docklow

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
