The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Dorchester
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, 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.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dorchester?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
