Trusted bath re-enamelling in Stratton

Stratton: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover Stratton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stratton and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Stratton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stratton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Stratton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
