About our bath re-enamelling in Up Somborne
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you have an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right.
Older homes around Up Somborne may have baths that have been in place for decades. If the bath is sound, bath re-enamelling gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included. Somewhere as small as Up Somborne, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the bath re-enamelling works exactly as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Up Somborne
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
In the older streets of Up Somborne, around landmarks like All Saints Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. For a rural home like those around Up Somborne, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths

Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
