Bath re-enamelling in Dormansland

About our bath re-enamelling in Dormansland

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Dormansland

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Dormansland?

We do. We send a technician to Dormansland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What affects the price in Dormansland

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
