Bath re-enamelling near Milford on Sea

Bath re-enamelling in Milford on Sea, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 generally the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

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.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Milford on Sea questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Are there extra charges for Milford on Sea?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milford on Sea use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
