About our bath re-enamelling in Great Dunham

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Great Dunham

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
