What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our bath re-enamelling in Durfold Wood

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. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Durfold Wood: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

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

We work UK-wide, so Durfold Wood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH14 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Durfold Wood?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
