About our bath re-enamelling in Piddletrenthide
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body

What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Questions from Piddletrenthide
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repairing versus replacing in Piddletrenthide
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
