About our bath re-enamelling in Verwood
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Verwood
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Verwood?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BH31 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We cover the whole UK, including Verwood and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Verwood
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
