Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cranborne
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Cranborne questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When to call us in Cranborne
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers typically contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Cranborne
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranborne
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Cranborne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
