About our bath re-enamelling in Sandford
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Sandford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sandford. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandford
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
