How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bearwood
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bearwood and across Bournemouth.

Common problems we fix in Bearwood
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

FAQs for Bearwood
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Bearwood?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairing versus replacing in Bearwood
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
