Bath re-enamelling in East Melbury without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in East Melbury

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
East Melbury: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Melbury
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.
For anyone letting property in or around East Melbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
