Bath re-enamelling for Durrington homes

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Durrington

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Durrington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Bath re-enamelling in Durrington without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Durrington

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Durrington

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price
