Bath re-enamelling in Donkey Town

Bath re-enamelling in Donkey Town, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Donkey Town

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

What affects the price in Donkey Town

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For a price in Donkey Town, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Donkey Town

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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