How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunham-on-the-Hill. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dunham-on-the-Hill

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Dunham-on-the-Hill

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

Repairing versus replacing in Dunham-on-the-Hill

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dunham-on-the-Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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