How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thorney Hill
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thorney Hill and across Dorset.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorney Hill

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thorney Hill
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
