Bath re-enamelling at your home in Herston
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Herston: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Herston
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Herston
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work

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 is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
