Bath re-enamelling near Doddington

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Doddington

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common problems we fix in Doddington

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white

When a repair is not the answer

  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doddington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How long is the bath unusable?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most clients in Doddington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
