Bath re-enamelling for Dullingham homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dullingham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Dullingham

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Dullingham clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Dullingham: your questions answered

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dullingham?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Landlord and trade work in Dullingham

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Dullingham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
