Bath re-enamelling in Blandford Forum, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Bathrooms in Blandford Forum range from period terraces to modern estates. Whatever the bath is made of, bath re-enamelling is done where it stands, so there is no need for a plumber or tiler.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Repairing versus replacing in Blandford Forum
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Around Blandford Forum, a new bath rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy. For a home in Blandford Forum, we just need access to the room and somewhere to park. Most visits are a single trip.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.

Blandford Forum questions
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Blandford Forum?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Blandford Forum?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT11 postcode.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Blandford Forum
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
In the older streets of Blandford Forum, around landmarks like Church of St Peter and St Paul, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.
