Landlords, agents and businesses in Melbury Sampford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Melbury Sampford
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in Melbury Sampford
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Melbury Sampford
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Melbury Sampford
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Melbury Sampford: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Melbury Sampford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Melbury Sampford and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
