Bath re-enamelling near Mosterton

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Bath re-enamelling in Mosterton without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mosterton and across Dorset.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Mosterton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mosterton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mosterton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mosterton?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Mosterton contact us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
