Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sherborne St John
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. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sherborne St John and across Hampshire.

Landlord and trade work in Sherborne St John
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Sherborne St John
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sherborne St John. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Sherborne St John, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from Sherborne St John
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sherborne St John?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
