When to call us in Litton Cheney
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

About our bath re-enamelling in Litton Cheney
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Litton Cheney and across Dorset.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Litton Cheney. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Litton Cheney
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Litton Cheney use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- 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 until the next day.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
