About our bath re-enamelling in East Orchard
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 lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Orchard
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we’re called out for in East Orchard
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
