Bath re-enamelling in St Dominick

Bath re-enamelling in St Dominick without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

St Dominick: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in St Dominick

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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