Bath re-enamelling in Dunston, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t 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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Dunston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Dunston

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Dunston: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
