Bath re-enamelling at your home in Higher Kingcombe
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What else we do in Higher Kingcombe
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Higher Kingcombe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Higher Kingcombe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
