Bath re-enamelling in Doddington, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right.

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

Landlord and trade work in Doddington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Questions from Doddington

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When to call us in Doddington

Common reasons people in Doddington contact us are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
