Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Stour
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.
Questions from East Stour
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
For landlords and businesses
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 also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
