Bath re-enamelling in Mortehoe, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mortehoe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mortehoe?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
Common questions in Mortehoe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Mortehoe?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Repair or replace in Mortehoe?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 generally cheaper.
