Bath Re-enamelling across Dorset

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dorset

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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.

What affects the price in Dorset

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Dorset

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Questions from Dorset

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
