Landlord and trade work in Durlston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Durlston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Durlston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Durlston
- Basins & shower trays

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Durlston
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Durlston questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
