Bath re-enamelling in Wimborne St Giles without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Wimborne St Giles

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Wimborne St Giles?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Wimborne St Giles customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wimborne St Giles

Do you come to Wimborne St Giles?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wimborne St Giles and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wimborne St Giles use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. 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
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wimborne St Giles. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
