The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Bath re-enamelling in Melbury Abbas without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What else we do in Melbury Abbas
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Melbury Abbas questions
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Melbury Abbas?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
