Bath re-enamelling at your home in Donnington

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Donnington: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Donnington?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Are there extra charges for Donnington?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Donnington

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Donnington

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. 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.
