What we are called out for in Frome Vauchurch
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Frome Vauchurch
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Frome Vauchurch. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Frome Vauchurch questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures 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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
