We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Milborne Port
Are there extra charges for Milborne Port?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Milborne Port?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Repairing versus replacing in Milborne Port
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Milborne Port

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
