Bath re-enamelling for Middle Bockhampton homes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Middle Bockhampton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath re-enamelling in Middle Bockhampton, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

When to call us in Middle Bockhampton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

10 questions to ask before you book

Middle Bockhampton: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
