Bath re-enamelling in Shaftesbury, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Shaftesbury
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shaftesbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Shaftesbury
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Shaftesbury, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
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 the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
