Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Knighton, Bournemouth
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Knighton and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Knighton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal

What we’re called out for in Knighton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Knighton
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Bournemouth?
All of Bournemouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
