Bath re-enamelling near Branscombe

About our bath re-enamelling in Branscombe

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. 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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Branscombe?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Branscombe

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Branscombe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
