Bath re-enamelling for East Boldre homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in East Boldre

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Boldre and across Hampshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in East Boldre

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Boldre

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace in East Boldre?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Boldre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
