Bath Re-enamelling for Gutch Common homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Gutch Common and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling in Gutch Common, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gutch Common
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
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 come to Gutch Common?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gutch Common and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
