How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunkerton

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. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dunkerton?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Dunkerton

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What affects the price in Dunkerton

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Dunkerton. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
