How we handle bath re-enamelling in Seatown
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

FAQs for Seatown
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Repair or replace in Seatown?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Seatown get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
