About our bath re-enamelling in Puddle Dock

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Puddle Dock

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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 just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Puddle Dock. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
