Bath re-enamelling in Bere Regis

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bere Regis

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Bere Regis questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bere Regis?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Bere Regis

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Bere Regis get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
