Bath re-enamelling in Christchurch

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Christchurch

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Christchurch and across Newport.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Christchurch

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Christchurch. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Christchurch

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Christchurch

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
