Bath re-enamelling near Dibden Purlieu

About our bath re-enamelling in Dibden Purlieu

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. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

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

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Dibden Purlieu

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dibden Purlieu. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dibden Purlieu, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
