Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Upton, Dorset

- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upton
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Upton?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Upton
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
