Bath re-enamelling at your home in Compton Abbas
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Advice
What affects the price in Compton Abbas
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Compton Abbas. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Compton Abbas
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
