If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace in Guy's Marsh?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Guy's Marsh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Guy's Marsh

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
