Bath re-enamelling at your home in Purewell
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Purewell

- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Purewell
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
