Bath re-enamelling in East Knighton without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in East Knighton?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
If you are in East Knighton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
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
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Knighton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
