Bath re-enamelling in Branksome, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Branksome
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What else we do in Branksome
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Branksome
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Poole and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What affects the price in Branksome
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
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 a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
