Bath Re-enamelling for Longburton homes
Damaged bath in Longburton? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What affects the price in Longburton
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Longburton. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Longburton
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longburton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Longburton: your questions answered
Do you come to Longburton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Longburton and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Longburton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Longburton
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
