Bath re-enamelling near Dunkirk

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Bath re-enamelling in Dunkirk, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunkirk

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dunkirk. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Dunkirk

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

What we’re called out for in Dunkirk

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Common questions in Dunkirk

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dunkirk?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL9 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price
