Bath re-enamelling in Dunton Bassett

Keeping it looking good

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

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Dunton Bassett, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Dunton Bassett questions

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dunton Bassett?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Dunton Bassett, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dunton Bassett, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Dunton Bassett

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
