What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling in Muscliff, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Muscliff questions

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Muscliff?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Muscliff and the rest of Bournemouth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Muscliff

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
