Bath re-enamelling in West Bexington

Common problems we fix in West Bexington

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps

Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Bexington

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. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in West Bexington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Bexington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Bexington

Are there extra charges for West Bexington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you work in West Bexington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Bexington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
