How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunham Town

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Dunham Town. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Dunham Town

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
