10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling in North Duffield, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in North Duffield

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for North Duffield. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
