Bath re-enamelling near Dosthill

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dosthill

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace in Dosthill?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Dosthill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dosthill

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dosthill

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Dosthill questions

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

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 you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
