Bath re-enamelling for Dorrington homes

Bath re-enamelling in Dorrington without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dorrington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Dorrington

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Dorrington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Dorrington

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Dorrington

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dorrington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that 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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
