Bath re-enamelling in Atrim, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Atrim?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts

- How changes to the job are handled
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths

Repairing versus replacing in Atrim
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Atrim
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Atrim
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
