Bath re-enamelling in Spetisbury without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Spetisbury. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Spetisbury and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Spetisbury?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Spetisbury
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
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.
