Bath re-enamelling in Wimborne Minster without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Wimborne Minster. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Wimborne Minster
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What else we do in Wimborne Minster
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wimborne Minster
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Landlord and trade work in Wimborne Minster
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
