Bath re-enamelling in Canford Cliffs without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Common questions in Canford Cliffs
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
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.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When to call us in Canford Cliffs
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
