Bath re-enamelling in Duloe

Bath re-enamelling in Duloe without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Duloe

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Duloe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is 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.

When to call us in Duloe

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Duloe

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair
