Bath Re-enamelling for King's Stag homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around King's Stag: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in King's Stag without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in King's Stag as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from King's Stag
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We cover the whole UK, including King's Stag and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
