Bath re-enamelling in Blandford St Mary, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Blandford St Mary
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What affects the price in Blandford St Mary
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
