Bath re-enamelling at your home in Castletown
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Castletown and across Dorset.

Repairing versus replacing in Castletown
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Castletown
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castletown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Castletown questions
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Castletown?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Common problems we fix in Castletown
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
