Bath re-enamelling in Belchalwell Street

When to call us in Belchalwell Street

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Belchalwell Street

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Belchalwell Street and across Dorset.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are you accredited?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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