Trusted bath re-enamelling in Duddleswell

Bath re-enamelling in Duddleswell, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Duddleswell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Duddleswell?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Duddleswell

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When to call us in Duddleswell

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Duddleswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
