Bath Re-enamelling for Child Okeford homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Child Okeford: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
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 it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Child Okeford, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What else we do in Child Okeford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Child Okeford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
FAQs for Child Okeford
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Child Okeford and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- How many items we do on one visit
