Bath re-enamelling in Tolpuddle, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Tolpuddle: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually.
