Bath re-enamelling in Chaldon Herring 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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Chaldon Herring questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chaldon Herring?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What we cannot put right

- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
