Bath re-enamelling in Winterborne Houghton without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Winterborne Houghton
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Winterborne Houghton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Winterborne Houghton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Winterborne Houghton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
