About our bath re-enamelling in Melcombe Regis
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Melcombe Regis
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Melcombe Regis questions
Do you work in Melcombe Regis?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Melcombe Regis from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Melcombe Regis?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
