Bath re-enamelling in Parkstone

Bath re-enamelling in Parkstone without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Parkstone

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Parkstone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Parkstone, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Parkstone

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common questions in Parkstone

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Are you accredited?

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

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH14 postcode.

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
