When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Bath re-enamelling in Fairmile without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What affects the price in Fairmile
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Fairmile
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Fairmile?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
