Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ansty

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ansty and across Dorset.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ansty

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ansty as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Ansty questions

Repairing versus replacing in Ansty

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

When to call us in Ansty

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ansty. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
