When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Burton Bradstock

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Burton Bradstock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

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.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Burton Bradstock

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

FAQs for Burton Bradstock

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
