How we handle bath re-enamelling in Salway Ash
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’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Salway Ash
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Salway Ash?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT6 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you cover Salway Ash?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Salway Ash and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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 the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Salway Ash
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
