Bath re-enamelling in Tincleton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tincleton and across Dorset.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- What protection goes down before work starts
What affects the price in Tincleton
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tincleton. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Tincleton questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work in Tincleton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tincleton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
