Bath re-enamelling in Greenhill, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Greenhill
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Greenhill
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Questions from Greenhill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Greenhill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Greenhill and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
