Bath re-enamelling in New Zealand without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Repairing versus replacing in New Zealand
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for New Zealand. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
New Zealand questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in New Zealand?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to New Zealand?
We do. Technicians travel to New Zealand from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Common problems we fix in New Zealand
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
