Bath re-enamelling in East Denton without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Denton. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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

Landlord and trade work in East Denton

For anyone letting property in or around East Denton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
