How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mudeford
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mudeford and across Dorset.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mudeford
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mudeford?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
