How we handle bath re-enamelling in Okeford Fitzpaine
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Okeford Fitzpaine?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Okeford Fitzpaine
Are there extra charges for Okeford Fitzpaine?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Okeford Fitzpaine
For anyone letting property in or around Okeford Fitzpaine, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What affects the price in Okeford Fitzpaine
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
