How we handle bath re-enamelling in Milborne St Andrew
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Milborne St Andrew
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Milborne St Andrew. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
