Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Throop, Dorset
Damaged bath in Throop? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Throop without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Throop
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Throop included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Throop. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Throop?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
