Trusted bath re-enamelling in Dunsley

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dunsley

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dunsley?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Dunsley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunsley

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
