What affects the price in Lower Bockhampton
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Lower Bockhampton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Lower Bockhampton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Bockhampton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Common questions in Lower Bockhampton
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Lower Bockhampton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lower Bockhampton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
