Bath re-enamelling in Charlton Down without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Charlton Down
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Charlton Down included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

- A roll-top that is seen better days

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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Other services in Charlton Down
Landlord and trade work in Charlton Down
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton Down use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Charlton Down get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
