Trusted bath re-enamelling in South Dell

Bath re-enamelling in South Dell without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

South Dell questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Dell?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
