Bath re-enamelling in Upwey, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Upwey
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upwey
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise 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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath

Most customers in Upwey get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
