Bath re-enamelling at your home in Langton Matravers
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Langton Matravers and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What affects the price in Langton Matravers
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Langton Matravers, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
