Bath re-enamelling across Bournemouth: what to expect
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Cost
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bournemouth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Repairing versus replacing
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bournemouth
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Bournemouth contact us are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
