Trusted bath re-enamelling in Stour Row

Bath re-enamelling in Stour Row without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stour Row

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work in Stour Row?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stour Row and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stour Row. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stour Row

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Stour Row, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
