Bath re-enamelling near Colesbrook

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Colesbrook

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Colesbrook: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover Colesbrook?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Colesbrook and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Colesbrook included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Colesbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
