Bath re-enamelling in Bourton without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bourton. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bourton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Bourton questions
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Bourton and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bourton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we’re called out for in Bourton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Bourton

Repair or replace in Bourton?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
