- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sturminster Marshall
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Sturminster Marshall
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Questions from Sturminster Marshall
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sturminster Marshall
Often 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.
Look out for these signs:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
