Bath Re-enamelling in Lydlinch
Damaged bath in Lydlinch? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Lydlinch, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Questions from Lydlinch
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Lydlinch included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Are there extra charges for Lydlinch?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we’re called out for in Lydlinch
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Lydlinch
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
