Bath re-enamelling in Duns Tew

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Duns Tew

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Common problems we fix in Duns Tew

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Common reasons people in Duns Tew contact us are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Duns Tew. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Fixed prices from your photos

Questions from Duns Tew

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
