How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barrow Hill
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Barrow Hill
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Barrow Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

- Several chips and rust patches

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Barrow Hill questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Barrow Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Barrow Hill and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Barrow Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
