Bath Re-enamelling in Branksome Park
Problem with your bath in Branksome Park? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Branksome Park without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Branksome Park questions
Do you cover Branksome Park?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Branksome Park from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Branksome Park?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Branksome Park, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Branksome Park as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Branksome Park?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
