About our bath re-enamelling in Church Knowle
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Church Knowle questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What affects the price in Church Knowle
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Church Knowle
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
