Bath re-enamelling at your home in Durweston
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Durweston: your questions answered
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.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Durweston?
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
Landlord and trade work in Durweston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
