Bath re-enamelling in Dunk's Green

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dunk's Green

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Dunk's Green

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Dunk's Green clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

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’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Dunk's Green. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Dunk's Green: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you work in Dunk's Green?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunk's Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
