How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Dunshalt

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Questions from Dunshalt

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dunshalt?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When to call us in Dunshalt

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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